to expand and relocate my operation to Louisville, KY. I need a market
analysis (market size,growth,major trends,market niches, etc.)done in
order to complete my business plan.  We service both residential and
commercial properties with full service maintenance and installation
operations.Can you provide this information?

Clint,

In the statement, "market size,growth,major trends,market niches,
etc.," are you referring to the US market?

I am referring to the Louisville area, but it would be helpful to know
what the U.S. market is as a whole and what percentage of that makes
up the Louisville market. Thank you for your time.

Dear Clint,

I looked for information specific to Louisville, KY, and did not find
anything. The sort of information that I am able to find is for the US
market overall.  From this you should be able to estimate Louisville's
potential given population, incomes, spending habits, and other
demographics as they compare to the national average.  This is a more
typical approach to estimating local market potential, in light of the
fact that usually no one area is followed by industry analysts, who
are the most respect sources of this type of information.

Let me know how I can help you further,
Claudietta

Clint, 

Unfortunately, I haven't found anymore local information other than
the fact that Korfhage Landscape & Designs, Inc. is a major supplier
of such services in Louisville, KY.  Start by looking at them more
carefully for your business plan.

Good luck,
Claudietta

Clint --

Some core data about the number of landscaping businesses; their
sales; their employee count; their total payroll in the state of
Kentucky is in the 1997 U.S. Economic Census (released in 2000 and
2001):
http://148.129.75.3/epcd/www/econ97.html

To start, you'll want to search by NAICS (formerly SIC) code, which I
believe is 56173, "Landscape & Horticultural Services."

Best reegards,
